Wet Felted Pillow- Ocean

Fair December Show in Mississauga is coming.

I am getting ready for the 8th Fair December Show at Queen Elizabeth Public School, Mississauga. If you have time and live around the area, please come and stop by my table to check out my new creations. I will be happy to see you there.
This is one of my new pieces......

....and the brooches too.

and some more..........

 

Some new scarves that I made this week using shibori technique and tracery technique. Very time consuming but I love it.

Nuno Felted Shibori Scarf

Another scarf with orange silk yarn, my favourite colour. I used variety of materials and different felting techniques. I hope you will love it.

My first nuno-felted scarf for the season

• I did not have much time for my blog lately, neither for felting. This is my first nuno- felted scarf for the season. I love the outcome, so I would like to share some of the pictures with you.

• I used 18.5 mic. merino wool and cotton gauze from Australia. Lots of silk yarn, hankies and lace. The scarf is very long, soft and lacy. Just spectacular. Can be worn almost all year round, because of the lacy texture it has. 

As you know from my Blog I like to experiment different techniques and materials. It keeps me moving on, learning and creating. In some pieces I combine those techniques and love the new and unique look.

Shibori technique

 This is my last creation using nuno- felting and shibori techniqies. For this project I used cotton gauze, very soft merino wool from australia, raw sheep locks, pom-poms,and silk fabric.

Accessory-Flower

I made a beautiful flower last night. Can be worn as a necklace, belt or can be decoration in your home.

The flower is made from merino wool, bamboo/wool yarn and kid moher.
Next week on Thursday I will be traveling to Barcelona for vacation with my family. I will come back with more unique creations in a month. Have a great Summer!

Vacation time and my new dresses

In two weeks I am going for vacation with my Family to Barcelona/ Spain, and Bulgaria. I love Europe and I am excited about our trip. I will keep my friends up to date when I have chance to get to a computer. Lately I have been overwhelmed with so many ideas of things i would like to make-scarves , vessels, dresses....Yesterday I decided to take a bit of time and make a dress for myself. I started the dress with that idea, but of the end it was my daughter's dress and I had to make another one for myself. I completed the last of the hand stitching this morning and now both of us have new dresses for our Family trip.

This is my dauhter's dress front and back

Then comes my own dress

The lace is made from my mother in law meny years ago, love it! I enjoy sewing clothing, but felting is my new passion.

My workshop with Andrea Graham

I had a wonderful time creating vessels with Andrea Graham last weekend. It was one day vessels workshop and Andrea is very kind and friendly person.She is proffessional canadian Feltmaker and great teacher. I learned lots of new techniques and would love to go again to one of her workshops. The workshop was in Odessa, Ontario and there I met nice people with passion for felt.

 And here is my work in progress

and the final result- the piece made by me, my first vessel

It looks like a Hobbit House to me. Love it! Thank you Andrea!
